(Nghe đoạn hội thoại giữa Kevin và Mai. Đánh số những điều họ nói theo thứ tự được đề cập.) Gợi ý đáp án a. 4 b. 3 c. 2 d. 1 Nội dung bài nghe
Kevin: You look upset, Mai. What's the matter?
Mai: Well, it's my mum. She keeps complaining about my appearance.
Kevin: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Mai: Yeah, she doesn't like my choice in clothes and hairstyle.
Kevin: I see. So what's wrong with your clothes and hair?
Mai: Nothing wrong. But my mum doesn't allow me to wear tight jeans to school. I'm not
allowed to colour my hair either. She said she never wore tight clothes or coloured her hair when she was at school.
Kevin: Well, I think she's right. We have to wear uniforms to school, remember? And
school rules don't allow coloured hair.
Mai: Yeah, I know. But I just want to look different on special occasions.
Kevin: Then you should tell your mum about it. I think she'll understand.
Mai: Maybe you're right. What about you, Kevin? Do you come into conflict with your parents?
Kevin: Not really. But they try to limit the time I spend on my smartphone and laptop.
They don't really understand that I mainly use them for my homework, not to play games or post on social media.
Mai: Perhaps they worry about your eyesight.
Kevin: Yes, maybe that's why they take away my phone and laptop at 10p.m. Sometimes
I don't even have time to complete my homework.
Mai: Why don't you try to write down your homework assignments on paper first, then
you can type them quickly on your laptop?
Kevin: That's a good idea. I'll try to do that next time.
